　　Jinhe Village is located on the north bank of the Yalong River, bordering Miyi to the east and Renhe to the west, facing the new county seat of Yanbian across the river. It is 30 kilometers from downtown Panzhihua and 12 kilometers from the famous Ertan Hydropower Station. With an average elevation of 1,200 meters and an annual average temperature of 20°C, the area features a typical subtropical dry-hot valley climate, characterized by strong sunlight, abundant heat, and large diurnal temperature variations. The village enjoys ample water resources, a 12-kilometer-long, 4-meter-wide cement road that runs through the entire area and connects to the right trunk line of the Tongya Highway, and is close to the Tongzilin Railway Station, ensuring very convenient transportation. The land here is fertile, resources are abundant, the environment is beautiful, and the air is fresh. Moreover, the Longchongqing Forest Park—a hidden gem in the deep mountains—is located within the area. It is not only an ideal place for developing subtropical fruit cultivation but also a perfect spot for developing specialty tourism agriculture, sightseeing agriculture, leisure agriculture, and green resorts.

　　To date, Yanbian County has established a 10,500-mu green mango base and registered the "Jinhe" brand mango trademark. This base mainly produces high-quality mid-to-late season mango varieties such as Irwin, Hayden, Keitt, Kent, Kate, and Red Ivory. These mangoes are beloved by consumers for their sweet taste, large size, and minimal fiber content. In 2007, the base produced 1,920 tons of high-quality mangoes, generating an output value of over 15 million yuan. The per capita net income of farmers in the village reached 4,837 yuan. B8h

　　To scale up and specialize the mango industry, the village has introduced leading enterprises such as Ruihua and Jingu, adhering to the development model of "company + association + base + farmer." Companies support farmers in their development, help them find sales channels, and provide technical guidance. Among them, Ruihua Company owns a 1,200-mu mango base in the village, with an output value of 3.4 million yuan in 2007, playing a leading role in the development of the mango industry among farmers.

　　In recent years, Jinhe Village has organized fruit farmers to learn mango planting techniques, developed the "company + association + base + farmer" industrial model, built a brand, found markets, and expanded sales channels. As a result, the village's mangoes now share a unified trademark, packaging, sales channels, and market launch schedule. B8h
